Time warp to the future please? Maybe not.

I remember when I turned 8. I was so excited to be the same age as my house number. Hey now, I was young and it was an epic milestone. Then it was turning 10. Double digits. After that is 16, 18, and 21. Now that I'm past all those fantastic birthdays, you're in limbo where you're past the age of being young and cute, and being old and boring. Well, that limbo is currently my life. Since I'm in grad school, the highlights of being in college for the first time, all those rad parties and hot college guys, have lost their excitement. Now I look forward to dominos, a glass of soda, and watching a red box movie with my boyfriend on friday nights. I also look forward to going to bed around 10 pm. In fact, as I'm writing this blog, I'm already in my pj's, have been for about 2 hours, and I'm laying in bed. Yes, I'll have to make dinner soon but I can't wait to sleep.
Anyways, have I mentioned the show How I met your Mother? Of course I have. It's a great show, and if you haven't seen it, please please tune in.

Ok so back to the first paragraph. So I'm totally in between loving being young, and not having to face the real world, well completely. The BAC is a part time school where you work full time during the day, and take classes at night. Yes, trying to find a job is horrible right now. I'm not ready for only a job now. That means I'd have to face the fact that college is over for me and I'm getting older. Also, I have tons of loans to defer. Getting my master's degree is necessary to becoming an architect. However, I have to find  some good motivation to stay in school for another 5 years. 9 years is a long time for school. Anyways, I am liking just working right now. School starts next week. It's nice to get up, go to work, come home and veg. Vegging does get boring though. I also think a lot about having my own house and being able to decorate my own place. I also think a lot about marriage. It's scary stuff dude.

Ok. Happy Stuff. I'm excited for the first true snow fall of the year. I do like snow. I just don't like having to go places, like to work, in the snow. Driving in the snow? Forget about it. I can deal if necessary, but it just plain sucks. Why on earth would the car think that it has a right to go in the direction opposite of what I'm telling it to. And skidding? Like really?

Ok. It's dinner time. AKA, time to order Dominos.

Also, I'm going to Montreal this weekend with my boyfriend, Jesse, and two of my best friends, Nick and Britt. I'm so excited! So be prepared for some wicked good stories. Till then...peace out home fries.

Once upon a time...

Isn't that how the people of olden times always start their stories? "Once upon a time." Unless you're one of the creators of "Once upon a time" on ABC. Anyways, the beginning of this blog is about 85% un-organization, 10% of rambling on and on and on, and then the remaining 5% of sarcasm, my second language. Well it's more like my first language that has a base root of english. Back to the story. My supervisor at the casino I work for has told me numerous times that I should start a blog, so viola! I declare this day, blog day!
A little bit about myself before you think I'm beyond weird. I'm a recent college graduate and am also enrolled in grad school now going for my master's degree in architecture. For me, I think buildings have the right to tell their own story and how the ability to keep secrets, and be part of memories that help one define home from just a house. I also am very interested in historical preservation and restoration/ renovation. I would like to help tell these stories for the houses and buildings that no longer are capable of doing so on their own. I also like to bring buildings back to life. I don't think a building should just be forgotten because  it's no longer the best and newest thing available.
I have a wonderful mother and father who have been a large part of my decision to become an architect, and I have a younger sister who shares in my love of sarcasm. Although with my dad being who he is, sarcasm runs in our blood. I have an incredible boyfriend who I've been dating for a little over four years now. I'll tell you the story of how we met soon, but not yet. (Gladiator reference anyone?) I have two cats at home, Timmy and Tina, both of which I'm allergic to. I went away to college in Boston thinking I was getting smarter, and I come back home with sneezing fits and itchy eyes that make it look like I'm on crack or something. At that time I had two dogs, Lilly and Daisy, and three cats, the already mentioned Timmy and Tina, and then Suzie. Unfortunately none of them allowed me safe passage when I went home to visit my family, and shortly after I first realized I was allergic to my pets, Claritin and I became good friends.
Ok, now some fun facts. Favorite food: pasta with hamburger and plain sauce. I prefer Ragu traditional. Also, I really like pickles. Favorite animal: horse. I always wanted a horse, and a ferret, but those little buggers are vicious. Favorite color: blue. Favorite movie: I have 2, Gladiator and the Notebook. Ryan Gosling is hot. I should mention to you that I'm also a huge Twilight fan and am Team Edward all the way. It's Legend wait for it, dary! I've been watching How I met your mother a lot lately on Netflix and Barney's one liners are epic. However it is getting late and Ted, Robin, Lily, Marshall and Barney are all calling my name. Till tomorrow.
